That was a hell of a piece of equipment back then. Cost more than the model 4 itself. Nice to see one in working condition.

Agreed on the TRS80 model 1. It was a ground breaking budget computer for the masses at its particular time. It was quickly superseded by the C64 as the budget computer of choice; but shortly afterwards, RadioShack did it again. Their incredible Tandy 1000 series beat the hell out of IBM and all the other XT clones offering so much more for much less money; and helped many people get their foot into the door of x86. RS deserves their lauded place in the history of the personal computer.

How did you test the hard sector floppy drives using a soft sector PC controller? Or are they not hard sector drives? Normally, for example, the H89 or H8 had the H17 hard sector drive setup.

Use a ultrasonic clear and and acetone with water as a solvent cleaner for dry ink

This is the best video I’ve seen on doing the brakes on a 2016 ram 1500 4x4

👍

Watched a few videos. You made it simpler by far. Ty

how

I make a replacement modern keyboard that is a drop-in replacement if you ever decide to never have to deal with this problem ever again.

The little computer that couldn't.

The age of Aquarius, NOT!!

nice but it would have been nice for others working on this for you to have held up the backplane for a few seconds without your hand covering the power connections, so those of us who are working on these without the markings being clear can have a look at yours. Folks like me. :D

This video was very helpful. Thank you. I was able to change my brakes with no problem.

If there is no floppy disk in the drive, it might try to boot the HD first.

FYI... The Model II was notorious for corrupting data if a floppy disk was in the drive when you turned the power on. I learned the hard way to always open the door before powering up.

Too long, boring

Hi what resin? Thanks

First break Chang I’ve ever done. Went seamlessly, thanks to your video. Thank you sir

Thanks for the video, I was looking for a different issue, which helped me see what it looked like before opening up the panel. On another note, I noticed you blurred your license plate at the beginning of the video, but later when you show the reverse camera working, it clearly shows the plate.

I had one, don't know what happened to it.

Helpful video, as I am tackling my neighbors dodge. I would add that I always add anti seize to the back of the rotors and all the bolts. I'm always careful to not overuse the anti seize so none gets on the rotor or pads. But it sure helps the next guy who may be working on the brakes. I use a weighted rubber hammer for any "adjustments" as well.

So dumb! Thank you for your help, Solved our problem too 😂

I watched part I of your video as well. Very complete job on telling us all how you went from point A to point Z to bring this weather station back to life! One suggestion... Once you have the display unit when you want it and it is all working the way it should, do a 5 to 10 minute video of the entire display to show how it's working. Plus there are those of us who geek out on those types of videos! Thanks!!

What is the model of the Samsung TV you were using for the demo? It looks more like a computer monitor.

Glad you explained and suggested the wood backing. I just bought this mount and already prepared myself for going into the attic to put backing in lol

Hi !!!!, u are great !!!!, I´m from Argentina, I have my TRS 80 MODEL II but unfortunally I have no keyboard, it´s a great work !!!, do u know haw to replace the original keyboard or a damaged one on a mistic MODEL II?, GO AHEAD !!!

Impressive!! Nicely done!

Same/similar issue. Didn’t work for me. When I tap the error 7x I get error code T0208. They’re sending a new MCB so I have to wait for that to show up THEN schedule. What a crock of shit.

how much are those worth now?

Great video . Myself I just ad a bar over the end of the ratchet to make it easier to remove the bigger bolts

You did an awesome job with painting. And I'm fairly sure that cleaning the pins of the chip solved some potential issues.

Correction! I worked for Heathkit. The H-8 Computer came out in the Fall of '76 not '79.

Woaw😍

Weird wind direction sensor, I used to work on several kinds of industrial weather sensors and the RM young brand ones were magnetic, the climatronics brand used a pot and just delivered a voltage. The best were the all ultrasonic ones, no moving parts... All were hooked up to a ESC data logger with a MET card. THe only hard part about working on them was climbing up the tower, some were 100 meter up.

Screen turns green when a program is running in basic.

I wonder if I can find that program (T-Type?) on WoS (World of Spectrum)? Also, there's a shortcut to tape loading - just use LOAD " " - it's 2 of the double quotes, with no space in between. I put in the space, so you can see it's 2 actual quotes. :) Cool video, and would you mind posting the names of the programs on the included cassette? There might be a way to revitalize what's there, but it would require some emulation and re-digitizing. I also have a TS-2068, and I have at least one emulator that I can coax into making tape files "audible" again. The cool thing about the TS and Spectrum was that the tape format is essentially identical so you can load most Spectrum programs (without machine code) into the 2068, and - as a bonus, if you had UPLOAD2000, you could convert some TS-1000 or ZX-81 stuff as well. I just hope I can find my copy of the "upload" program before bit-rot sets in ! lol Thank you so much for the history lesson and the added backgrounder on the machine that I'm so fond of, even to this day. (Edited, obvs)

What is the model tv you have? I am wondering the dimensions of your 55" tv as well as the weight.

could you please tell me how much it (trs 80 model II) weighed?

Could you please

Thank you!!!! Problem solved 🙏

My neighbor across the street had a Heathkit system with 8” floppies. It seemed very primitive compared to my Atari 600xl, but you really get a sense for the first generation 8bit computers looking at those machines.

So happy for this post! Two years later and it's still relevant and worked like a charm!

Thanks for the video. I'm going to tackle this job on all four wheels soon. Just wondering what kind of headlights you have on your truck. I am looking at after market LED upgrades for mine and like the look of the ones you have on yours. Thanks again.

I always replace RIFA caps. Even the old caps should be replaced as they can be dried out.. 80’s was quite a while back.

All my projects all in one place and wife is happy to get rid of husband and vice versa. Happy ending...

no loctite?

These are so cool! I never knew about these in the 80's. I was into Commodore 64's, Apple Computers, and TRS -80's. Seeing this makes me wish that Commodore had done something like this. How cool!

Hey, Seba from Argentina here. Once it goes down, can you turn it? Let say I want to watch the tv from another part of my living room, can I turn the tv so I can watch it from anywhere in the room?

I have one of these in my car right now! A fraternity brother was cleaning out his father-in-law's storage unit and knew I collected retro equipment. This (still in original dust cover), as well as the disk expansion unit with two drives in it (neatly boxed), a DMP-400 printer (with dust cover), boxes of original manuals, disks, and books (still haven't gone through them all), and even a Compaq Portable were headed to the trash pile! There is no room in my Accord for anyone but the driver right now, and I am looking forward to going through all of it this weekend. I'm hoping since it was all stored properly and in a climate-controlled environment that it should still be in good condition. 🤞

I did your test and put a new power supply and still nothing . I can control the ir light on and off from the menu on the computer but thats it the screen is black from the video . What the next thing to try ? I have ir light that I 'm able to turn on and off . Did you have ir lights working with your bad power supply ?
